Great podcast... I never miss one.. the best in news and culture around..
Walt Coogan via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/31/16
The guests on Monocle's panels display a wide range of political views... from Very Left to Very, Very Left. These folks are the epitome of those urban, elitist snobs who live in well-heeled jet-set bubbles that are always stocked with 500-thread count organic cotton fair tread sheets and a...Read full review »

Every week this show gets better! Already a well established, consistently improving internet based radio station.
Arthur Mingard via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/10/13
I started listening to the Monocle weekly on a whim way back before the magazine was launched almost 2 + years ago and have been a big fan ever since. Brule and company really know how to blend stories you would never hear about in your conventional weekly news podcast with great cultural stories...Read full review »

Learned so much listening to these podcasts. From opinions of people on the ground in the Middle East, Japan and Korea, to new artists like Quiet Nights Orchestra, authors, businessmen and women. Its a perfect complement to my FT Weekend. I miss the 2hour format.

I m looking forward to get new episode every week , great content, sincere hosts, thanks for tyler brule once again
ozlemcarr via Apple Podcasts · Turkey · 04/22/12
The Monocle Weekly is a fine audio summary of what the editors at Monocle have worked on from issue to issue as well as current global events with some commentary and humor. The speaking parts are dotted with contemporary music from global artists that may or may not be considered "pop"....Read full review »

Monocle Weekly had a solid spot in my week until the new format. I realize I haven't listened to an episode in eleven weeks. I find the format too long to commit time to during my day. The informing segments seem too sparse and my attention drifts. I'm still a subscriber.Read full review »
Teymour Renov via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/12
I've purchased Monocle magazine from the initial issue but over the years the increasingly arrogant tone has left me .....underdone and well bored. With the launch of Monocle 24, the cocksureness of the Canadian editor-in-chief in his ill fitting J Crew suit and George Michael 1994 stubble...Read full review »

Good variety of stories
Summit Frank via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/11
This has been my Sunday morning/midday ritual for some time. I love the cheeky gentleman banter, and the excellent dose of news & culture delivered with a light tone. As other reviewers, I preferred the hour-long segment. At two hours , the pace & curation quality suffers; the interviews...Read full review »

A must!
Van Gil via Apple Podcasts · Portugal · 12/04/11
The switch to Monocle 24 has unfortunately lowered the audio quality on this show as well as all the other Monocle 24 shows. The Weekly is still a must-listen, but listening is a bit of a strain. Hopefully the engineers in Midori House can get it together so these podcasts don't sound so...Read full review »
unitedstyle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/11
The new, two-hour format of the Monocle Weekly, launched in conjunction with the new radio station, is unfortunately a step backwards from what had been a pretty solid podcast. The first edition last week was blighted by the foolish decision to include "news" headlines at the beginning;...Read full review »

I enjoy listening to the weekly on my bike commute to work which, being short, means I can listen to a bit every day of the week almost. Looking forward their new radio station M/24
MrMendo via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 10/10/11
The Monocle Weekly and other Monocle podcasts are what all other current affairs, design and editorial podcasts should aspire to be. Episodes are crisp, clean and cultured. The content is fresh and topical and the podcasts length means that issues are not just briefly mentioned but rather are...Read full review »

Love the warm, laid back approach to this high brow, globetrotting magazine programme. The perfect companion to the creative and intellectual luxury lifestyle you either already lead or, most likely, can only dream about :)
Siennita via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/13/11
iTunes reports the podcast url does not work. The auto subscription is not working. Please fix. I hate to manually download the episode.
tawiscool via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/11
Each podcast is just like the print magazine: equal parts style and substance wrapped in a tastefully understated package. I look forward to the wide range of topics from a truly international and unapologetically intellectual perspective.
CJNIII via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/11
Great content with international reach and insight. A bit Asia rich and US light which is a blessing and slightly off-kilter. More Africa, Australia, Latin and India needed. Brilliant conversations on media minus Hollywood influence which is refreshing. Humor of hosts at times can be bawdy,...Read full review »

Content of the podcasts are very good however recently the availability through iTunes had been much slower than through their website. Please fix apple! Where is episode 4?

An outstanding blend of ever facinating subjects from around the world, delivered with humour and gravitas, this is my indespensible listening staple for my bike commute to work in Dublin. Thank you Andrew, Robert and Tyler for the wonderful Monocle weekly!

Smug banality from dull cosmopolitans. Yeesh, that was bad.
DymaxionGiraffe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/10
Monocle offers a refreshing change of pace from both the typical podcast and the typical news outlet. Professionally produced and edited, Monocle is a delight to the ears. The staff are intelligent, articulate, and well informed. Your given a true global perspective on major news trends and...Read full review »

Big fan of the Magazine and, by enxtension, of the podcast, but am not blinkered enough to be able to ignore any shortcomings. In this case it is culture editor Rob Bound's selection of music. Rob other cultural work is highly recommended but muscially it is vapid & without imagination....Read full review »

The latest baby from Tyler Brulé, creator of Wallpaper* Magazine. This podcast is from contributors to his latest magazine, Monocle, which is similar to Wallpaper* but with elements of say The Economist but way cooler. The summer series features great live music

Required weekly listening.
TSHC via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/19/09
The folks at Monocle have done it again! Nearly a half year into The Monocle Weekly, and they have been able to maintain the balance of topics and quality that makes the magazine one of the standard bearers of print media. This time they've done it in radio broadcast format. If you are a...Read full review »

I love this magazine (subscriber) I was buying the magazine for months, but felt like I should support more so I paid more for the subscription. The podcast is a great compliment. I hope more people listen to the podcast and read the magazine, better than 90% of the magazines/podcasts out there

In a world where we can chose everything we watch or listen to based on our likes and dislikes - I enjoy the Monocle podcast because it introduces me to stories that I normally wouldn't listen to. Thought provoking and entertaining - with a world view.Read full review »
International Rescue via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/15/09
The Monocle Weekly is now firmly established as a solid extension to Monocle monthly (by far the best publication on world newsstands) and reinforces the core principles that are at the heart of the magazine. All I can say is: if you have a wide view of the world and are looking to join a group...Read full review »

Being a University Student It's hard to find a source of news and popular culture in one spot. The half hour weekly pod-casts are fantastic to listen to whilst on the london commute. A truly refreshing news team, with both humor and incredible intelligence. So fantastic in fact I've just...Read full review »

Spamouflage via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/19/09
I think the fundamental of any chat, whether it be with one's friend or strictly as an outsider for a podcast, is two-fold: content, and delivery. Whether you had previously heard of Monocle Magazine or not (I had not) you cannot discount the wide spectrum of intriguing content delivered by...Read full review »
Dan Rehr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/09
Listening to the first episode of this new series from Monocle magazine has been an insightful half an hour. The first episode not only covers the upcoming trends in various fields of arts, but it also contatined substantial amount of political coverage, to bit of my surprise. As a frequent...Read full review »

I'm an avid reader of Monocle and was pleasantly surprised to find this new podcast. Nice. A smart insightful conversation of editors and decision-makers on a variety of current event and cultural topics. I just wish the conversation had continued. I would have enjoyed a second half hour...Read full review »
